Published in *Leslie's Weekly* on April 20, 1918, this advertisement for Ricoro cigars appeared while the United States was fighting in the First World War. *Leslie's*, an illustrated general-interest weekly founded in the 1850s, carried many consumer ads, and tobacco makers were among its regular advertisers. Wartime magazines often tied products to patriotism or to the morale of servicemen and families at home. The piece is a useful record of how cigars were sold to American readers at that moment.
